The ego, the self, identity is usually considered as the thing we answer when someone asks us: "Who are you?" "What are you?" "What do you do?" "What is your personality?" "What are your traits?" =====Technical===== Ego can in general be seen as through time metastable hieachical predictive structure, some cluster of linguistic or abstract bayesian beliefs with the predicted property of not being dissolvable in any circumstances, sometimes excluding death. Emergent property of nonlinear interacting parts. I predict myself therefore I am. Local ego is structure embedded inside global ego, where global ego is the whole field of awareness and local ego the animal self's narrative, I predict being therefore there is existence. Some people call the local ego soul, they predict its eternal. Some people call the globl ego god consciousness. It can be predicted as infinite awareness beyond physical realm. Part of "self", "outside world", "beyond both" is an arbitrary tag we put to qualia. It can be seen as structures in the self, world, and outside of those (abstract space) models in our generative model embedded in our cortical hiearchy. ====Flow state==== Symmetrical consonant smooth cooperative neurophenomenology. ====Values==== Values correspond to processes<ref>[[- YouTube]([- YouTube]([- YouTube]([- YouTube]([- YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v==hZpKdfbrd6o))))) Rebuilding Society on Meaning's data science research mapping out the statespace of human values, Joe Edelman, 2022]</ref> , interaction of the nervous system with the environment or other nervous systems where nervous system flourishes - is in a flow state, an evolutionary structural niche predisposed by genetics and learned on its own or culturally, clusters of genes increase a probability that the nervous system will learn to flourish in certain set of processes. ====Love==== =====Laymen===== Love is the existencial stance with reality, way of commiting yourself to a partiular connection in the outer or inner world, or to any thought, concept, process in general.<ref>[[The Last Campfire: Highlights (our final film!) - YouTube]([The Last Campfire: Highlights (our final film!) - YouTube]([The Last Campfire: Highlights (our final film!) - YouTube](https://youtu.be/X_7U1ApSzaM?t==6087))) Daniel Schmachtenberger and John Veraveke discussing the meaning and meta crisis and John Veraveke giving definition of love, 2022]</ref> Love is a trainable skill through love and kindness meditation for example! It's a muscle of the brain! =====Technical===== To any mental model in general, emerging from clarity of perception, symmetrical communication between mental models, synchrony of neural populations, when we "love" a mental model, our self model starts to form connections with it, giving rise to higher valence, more symmetrical dynamics in relation to it, so if we love the world, the self model interconnects with the world model and we feel oneness as those models synchronize together in harmony.<ref>[[Neural Annealing: Toward a Neural Theory of Everything – Opentheory.net]([Neural Annealing: Toward a Neural Theory of Everything – Opentheory.net]([Neural Annealing: Toward a Neural Theory of Everything – Opentheory.net]([Neural Annealing: Toward a Neural Theory of Everything – Opentheory.net]([Neural Annealing: Toward a Neural Theory of Everything – Opentheory.net]([Neural Annealing: Toward a Neural Theory of Everything – Opentheory.net]([Neural Annealing: Toward a Neural Theory of Everything – Opentheory.net](https://opentheory.net/2019/11/neural-annealing-toward-a-neural-theory-of-everything/))))))) The Neuroscience of Meditation: Four Models, Love, Michael Edward Johnson, 2018]</ref> I will create a neurosurgery clinic that will be uninstalling loneliness by neurosurgerally interconnecting your self model neural populations with your social graph neural populations by a mental model/generator/stimulator/pump/machine/implant in the brain constantly shooting heroic dose of neverending love and kindness. <references/> ====Meaning==== =====Laymen===== Meaning is the sense of interconnectedness with us, others and the world and overall everything. =====Technical===== We see meaning in what we learn to love. We can get stuck and love just a narrow set of mental representations or activities which can turn into addiction, it might be the only thing that brings us positive valence.<ref>[[- YouTube]([- YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v==6Icb4hu0_OE)) The Tyranny of the Intentional Object: Universal Addictions, Meaning Abuse, and Denied Self-Insights, Andrés Gómez Emilsson, 2021]</ref> That halts the ability to love and see meaning and enjoyment in every single moment in life. ====Generalized meaning of life==== We are attempting to find what is in us out there. We are selfactualizing, selfevidencing. Trying to align what we predict as perfect homeostatic conditions about us and the world with what we measure by changing environment through changing our inner models or by changing our environment thorugh actions. Trying reduce uncertainity about our conditions for hardwired basic needs and culturally learned objective functions, of our hiearchical graph of subagents. Trying to create synchrony between the self model and world model. Reducing uncertainity/dissonance -> increasing relaxation, destressification -> symmetrification. Flow state might be seen as stress source that is unstressing everything else in experience, even that stress can be dissolved on meditation and psychedelics. Good predictor and regulator of a system must be a model of that system. ====Agency==== We feel like we have agency when parts of the self model's processes that we identify with are experiencing a flowstate, causal self top down processes predicting what happens by their influence is same as what is measured, dopamine and noradrenaline seem to induce those. ====Emotions==== ====Nofap?==== I prefer rarefap/raresex as alternative for it not loosing magic. And it can be used to reinforce certain activities by seeing it as a reward after completing some bigger task, or the reward must be not known because then it stops being a big reward, so ideally when the intervals between are random, which generates this kind of motivation to fullfill those tasks. (among many other types of motivations such as nonsexual social connection) Too many rewards without doing any tasks can lead to loss of motivation, agency, drive, meaning and so on. But fapping/sex can also reduce stress, strain, pain, increasing sleep quality, help find oneselfes sexually. You can also use dopamine as anticipating reward motivation molecule in hornyness (and increasing it via fapping) as a kind of free stimulant. Also I would argue there's a big difference between just not so meaningfully fapping and a whole process of sexual intercourse with foreplay, deep tantric interconnecting, cuddling, slow sex, (instinct driven) fast sex, postcuddles, sleep, that's very deeply healing interconnecting vulnerability building thing! As much rhythmic entrainment as possible. Or you can say that pleasant states of consciousness not related to one's direct transcendental meaning are not worth it and you want all the training resources to be allocated to that higher order meaning, also an option.

Psychopathologies Are characterized by oscillopathy, by isolation of parts, by beliefs not modelling sensory data accurately, by stuckness in dissonant metastable attractors in nervous system configurations. =====PTSD, trauma===== PTSD, repressed trauma is isolated dissonant subagents, cluster of bayesian beliefs, population of neurons, with very strong statistical hull, sending one directional signal of the belief of something being wrong, being hurt, generating anxiety or depression, in the background to the other processes trying to mind their own business, usually easily triggerable but hard to transform their structure, but its possible with overtime counterfactual data. =====Depression===== Depression is learned, formed by memories, stable helplessness/hopelesness prior from repeated failures in reducing uncertainity and solving basic needs.<ref>[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149763422003621 Oversampled and undersolved: Depressive rumination from an active inference perspective, Max Berg et al., 2022]</ref> High energy depression is rigid stuckness in dissonant negative valence metastable emotional prior.
